WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY
It was a great experience for us to get our concepts and doubts cleared from our elder brothers and sisters. Their methods of teaching were very simple and innovative. I'm sure it will help us in many ways. I Thank the whole Swd team for arranging such an activity for us!
The primary mission of social work is to enhance human well-being and help meet basic and complex needs of all people. Socio-Tech led me to understand the efficacy of various intervention methods aimed at alleviating the conditions of people suffering from social deprivation and offering my services to the community.
I found the sessions very useful and I understood the use of the apps so well. In this covid situation where meeting people was very difficult, the lectures helped me alot to teach students without any problem. And if I had any doubt then I was to get it clear through the volunteer.
I am Anushka Gade from Zilha Parishad Rajegaon studying in class 7th. I was very excited to take part in Utkarsh Activity. As in this corona situation I was bored sitting at home all day. I found Utkarsh activity very informative and enjoyed it throughout.
